I. GENERAL TERMS OF USE

  1. Scope of Application

These General Terms of Use apply to any visit or use of the Platform by an internet user (hereinafter referred to as the "User").

By visiting or using the Platform, the User acknowledges that they have read these General Terms of Use and expressly accepts the rights and obligations set forth therein.

As an exception, a written agreement may waive the provisions of the General Terms of Use. Such deviations may include changes, additions, or deletions of the relevant provisions, without affecting the application of the other provisions of the General Terms of Use.

We reserve the right to modify our General Terms of Use at any time and without prior notice, but we commit to applying the provisions that were in effect at the time the User used the Platform.

  1. Platform

a. Accessibility and Navigation

We take all reasonable and necessary measures to ensure the proper functioning, security, and accessibility of our Platform. However, we cannot guarantee absolute functionality, and our actions must therefore be considered as being covered by an obligation of means.

Any use of the Platform is at the User’s own risk. We are not liable for damage resulting from any disruptions, interruptions, defects, or even harmful elements on the Platform.

We reserve the right to restrict access to the Platform or interrupt its operation at any time without prior notice.

Ráspo C/O Ellen Dieltjens BV largely determines the content of the Platform and takes great care with the information on it.

  1. Links to Other Websites

The Platform may contain links or hyperlinks to external websites. Such links do not automatically imply a relationship between Ráspo C/O Ellen Dieltjens BV and the external website or even that there is an implicit agreement with the content of these external websites.

Ráspo C/O Ellen Dieltjens BV has no control over such external third-party websites.

We are therefore not responsible for the secure and proper functioning of the hyperlinks and their destinations. Once the User clicks on the hyperlink, they leave the Platform. We cannot be held liable for further damage.

The User of the Platform is granted a limited right to access, use, and display the Platform and its content. This right is granted on a non-exclusive, non-transferable basis and may only be used for personal, non-commercial purposes. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the User is not permitted to modify, reproduce, translate, distribute, sell, or communicate to the public the protected elements, in whole or in part.

The personal data of the User is processed in accordance with the Privacy Policy available on the Platform.

The illegality or complete or partial invalidity of a provision of our General Terms of Use shall not affect the validity and application of the other provisions. In such a case, we have the right to replace the provision with another valid provision that serves the same purpose.

 

II. GENERAL SALES CONDITIONS

  1. Scope of Application

These General Sales Conditions define the mutual rights and obligations in the event of the purchase of products or services on the Platform by a User (who, with regard to the General Sales Conditions, is hereinafter referred to as the "Customer").

The General Sales Conditions express all the obligations of the parties. The Customer is deemed to accept these without reservation, failing which their order will not be validated.

Exceptions to the provisions of the General Sales Conditions may be made in exceptional cases, provided these exceptions are agreed upon in writing. Such deviations may involve changing, adding, or deleting the relevant provisions, without affecting the application of the other provisions of the General Sales Conditions.

Ráspo C/O Ellen Dieltjens BV reserves the right to modify the General Sales Conditions from time to time. Changes will apply once they are posted online for each purchase after that date.

  1. Online Store

Through the Platform, the Seller provides the Customer with an online webshop showcasing the offered products or services. The presentation of the offered products or services (e.g., via photos) has no contractual value.

The products or services are described and presented with the greatest accuracy. In the event of errors or omissions in the presentation, the Seller cannot be held liable.

The products and services are offered within the limits of their availability.

Prices and taxes are indicated in the online store.

  1. Price

The Seller reserves the right to change its prices at any time by posting them online.

Only the indicated prices and the taxes in effect at the time of the order are applicable, subject to availability on that date.

Prices are indicated in euros and do not include any delivery charges, which are also indicated and invoiced before the order is validated by the Customer.

The total order amount (including all taxes) and, if applicable, delivery charges will be displayed before the final validation of the order.

  1. Placing an Order Online

The Customer can complete an order online using an electronic form. By filling out the electronic form, the Customer accepts the price and description of the products or services.

To validate their order, the Customer must accept these General Sales Conditions by clicking on the indicated place.

The Customer must provide a valid email address, billing details, and, if applicable, a valid delivery address. Any communication with the Seller can take place via this email address.

Furthermore, the Customer must choose the delivery method and validate the payment method.

The Seller reserves the right to block the Customer's order in the event of non-payment, incorrect address, or any other issue with the Customer until the problem is resolved.

  1. Confirmation and Payment of the Order

The Seller remains the owner of the ordered items until full payment of the order is received.

a. Payment

The Customer makes the payment at the time of final validation of the order using the chosen payment method. This validation serves as a signature.

The Customer guarantees the Seller that they have the necessary permissions to use this payment method and acknowledges that the provided information constitutes proof of their agreement to the sale and payment of the amounts due under the order.

The Seller has a procedure in place to check orders and payment methods to reasonably ensure against any fraudulent use of a payment method, including requesting identification details from the Customer.

In case of refusal of payment authorization by accredited organizations or non-payment, the Seller reserves the right to suspend or cancel the order and its delivery.

The Seller also reserves the right to refuse an order from a Customer who has not fully processed a previous order or has an outstanding payment dispute.

b. Confirmation

After receiving the purchase validation with payment, the Seller will send the purchase to the Customer, along with an invoice, unless it was provided at the time of the order.

The Customer may request the invoice to be sent to an address other than the delivery address by contacting customer service before delivery (see contact details below).

In case of unavailability of a product or service, the Seller will notify the Customer as soon as possible by email to replace or cancel the order for that product and, if applicable, refund the relevant price, while the rest of the order remains fixed and final.

6. Proof

Communication, orders, and payments between the Customer and the Seller can be proven by automated records, which are stored under reasonable security conditions in the Seller’s computer systems.

Orders and invoices are archived on a reliable and durable medium that is considered as evidence.

7. Delivery

Delivery occurs only after the Seller's bank has confirmed payment.

The products will be delivered to the address provided by the Customer on the online order form. Additional costs resulting from incomplete or incorrect information from the Customer will be charged to the Customer.

Delivery will take place according to the method chosen by the Customer within the following timeframes:

  • Standard delivery time is 3 to 5 days if the items are in stock at Ráspo.
  • For international deliveries outside Belgium, the delivery time depends on the final destination and does not fall within the standard delivery time. These delivery times depend on your location.

Delivery times are indicative. In case of late delivery, no compensation can be claimed from the Seller or the carrier. However, if the delivery times exceed thirty days from the order date, the sales agreement can be canceled, and the Customer can be refunded.

a. Order Verification

Upon receipt of the products, the Customer or the recipient checks the condition of the delivered product or the conformity of the delivered service.

If one or more of the ordered products are missing or damaged, the Customer or recipient must make the necessary reservations to the carrier at the time of delivery and inform the Seller immediately (within 48 hours of receipt). Contact us via info@raspo.be with your order number, photos, and a description of your complaint.

The verification is considered completed once the Customer or an authorized person accepts the order without reservation.

Any reservation that is not made in accordance with the rules defined above and within the set deadlines cannot be considered and releases the Seller from any liability to the Customer.

b. Delivery Error

In the case of a delivery error or non-conformity of the products with the information on the order form, the Customer must inform the Seller within 48 hours of the delivery date.

Contact us via info@raspo.be with your order number, photos, and a description of your complaint.

Any complaint that is not submitted within the deadline cannot be considered and releases the Seller from any liability to the Customer.

After notifying the Seller of their decision to withdraw, the Customer has 14 days to return the goods.

The return or exchange of the product will only be accepted if the products are still complete, intact, and in their original condition, particularly with intact, complete packaging and in a resaleable condition.

The Seller will refund all amounts paid by the Customer, including delivery costs, within 14 days after the goods are returned or the proof of shipment of the goods is provided.

b. Exceptions to the Right of Withdrawal

Any withdrawal not carried out in accordance with the rules and deadlines of this article and applicable legislation will not be considered and will release the Seller from any liability to the Customer.

If the order entirely or partially concerns the delivery of digital content that is not delivered on a physical medium, the Customer expressly agrees that the agreement may be executed immediately. The Customer acknowledges that they lose the right of withdrawal once the agreement is fully executed.

If the order entirely or partially concerns the delivery of services, the Customer expressly agrees that the Seller may perform the services immediately. The Customer acknowledges waiving their right of withdrawal once the Seller has fully performed the agreement.
